How good are you at eyeballing a dimension?

scored 0.0 by chance on the circle center test.

5.19 units. Guess that means I can spot the difference between 1 foot and 1 inch more than half the time.

4.21, but to be honest I thought the game wasn't working properly and restarted about 1/3 of the way through. (I have a rather picky filter that doesn't always allow this kind of thing to work correctly.)

to be thinking perspectivally! Too much time with SketchUp. I quit the first test after that first atrocious answer, and completed the test with a 3.11

I'm going to try that test next time without my glasses...I hope I can find my mouse! ;)

Composite 3.71 - My parallelogram scores were 7.2, 14._, & 15._ Otherwise, I did pretty good with most individual scores in the 1 to 2 range.

I averaged 4.6 overall however i don't trust eyeballing and don't trust my tape measure the first 2 times.

I got an aaverage of 3.97

That was cool.

3.40...with my glasses on.

2.73 in three tries - the parallellogram gets me every time.

3.53 but I think my mouse was the limiting factor as it twitches a bit.

well, first time through I misunderstood the mid point section - I thought it meant equal vertices, not a bisected straight line - THAT bit got me a 38.1

Duh!!!

In spite of that, my average was 5.05 - next time the midpoint was 1.0. the third time 0.0

average for third column was 2.9, so I'm quite confident I'm vindicated (professional artist)

I'm a noobie woodworker though, and get totally befuddled by measuring... took me a while to understand the "one reference face/edge" concept.

Fared better than me, for sure. Best I've averaged is 4.3 ... but I tend to lose interest real quick and rush the last two or three. That said, I don't usually need a tape/ruler for eyeballing linear measurements under 1" ... that, and $3.95, will usually get me an SB café mocha, most of the time.

[tom_murphy]

the right angle with an 8.2, though. NOT a good sign!

Also confirmed what I already knew from eyeballing midpoints for biscuit joinery, which is that I suck at eyeballing midpoints.
